Tweeter @iamchrisscott has been writing poems composed from fragments of Dear Abby letters. All his poems use lines from all the questions and replies in a single day's column, in chunks of no fewer than three words. I couldn't resist trying this process myself. Here is my third Dear Abby poem (please compare to today's column using the link at the end):
People can be cruel
People can be cruel,
but I also hate
for this to happen.
The idea of deserting
the Academy of Hate
(that my small town and
everyone in my generation
loves and accepts)
feels like home.
But I'm worried that
the unsavory things I did
can be used to imply that
the chances are,
when you go--wherever you go--
you can be cruel, too.
